If you are part of the Witham-Bennett family, then we are definitely cousins (my father, Thomas Bennett, was the only one of the Ohio branch to leave and eventually venture west). Though this is definitely a hobby with me, I believe our ancestor, John Bennett, was actually born in Woodstock, Wyndham, CN. in 1730 and was married to Hannah Bridges in 1764 in York, York Co., Maine. He may have had a previous marriage. They had two sons. John Clermont Bennett was born in 1764/65 and married Olive Witham. James Bennett was born on Dec 8, 1766 and married Olive's sister, Catherine (which makes my grandparents second cousins). We haven't been able to trace the Bennett line back further than this; nor have we been able to find information on his death at sea. I would really appreciate anything else you might discover.
